I thought this would be a fun photo to share today. Featured above is a 1938 Underwood & Underwood press photo of the soon-to-be Dodger coach Babe Ruth that will soon be available through Memory Lane. He stands aboard a motorcade parade float promoting the New York World's Fair that will open the following year. (Auction Link)
The vintage photograph was taken on April 30, 1938 -- a full year ahead of the opening of the World's Fair. It is also about 2 1/2 months prior to him signing on to be the Brooklyn Dodgers first base coach.
